As long as that's optional. I'd much rather know exactly which community I'm looking at.
Oh yeah, it should definitely be optional. Fully appreciate that there will be folk who really care about the federated dimension to all of this.
If this is available it definitely needs to be an option, and I think it probably needs to not be the default. I know I like to know which instances I'm interacting with, and I think it makes sense because that's part of the point of the Fediverse.
Yep, I would agree on both counts - default behaviour should be people see servers in some respect, and those who are annoyed enough by it (like me) will go looking for the option :)
Honestly, I think it's important that people sub to all the same-subject communities across the Fediverse. However.. the only time it's really important to make the distinction is while creating a post. I hope we get the equivalent of 'multireddits' for all spaces with the same subject.
Yes, please! And the same goes for user names. You for example have an @vlemmy.net behind yours, but I couldn't give a rats ass what instance you signed up for. Especially since some of these instances have incredibly dumb and/or hard to read names (sh.itjust.works for example)
I completely agree with you! Out of curiosity did you sign up to multiple instances or only one? Thanks a lot, R.I.P Reddit, fuck u/spez!
Just the one here - immediately had FOMO of course because it feels like everyone else is on Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml, but I'm trying to resist the urge to swap given the whole point is that it shouldn't really matter all that much...
